1. قَد كُنتُ إِذا بَرَتني الآلامُ

    في حُبُكُم أَبرَتِني اللُّوَّامُ

    Once, whenever pains wore me down

    In loving you, the reproachers would heal me.

  2. لكنَّهُم دَرَوا بِما يَنفعُني

    مِن ذِكرِكُم فَأقسَموا لا لاموا

    But they learned what benefit I gained

    From mention of you, so they swore never to reproach me.
